Israel Emergency Fund Continues
israd's Victory Lightning Quick
JERUSALEM, (JTA) — The armed mightoflsrael'sJews, in an incredibly brief four days of lightningthrusts, knocked Egypt, Syria, and Jordan out of the third Arab-Israel war last week,-forcing them to accept a Security Council cease¬ fire appeal to avert still greater disasters onthe battlefield.
At week's endflsraelhadseizedtheentireSinai Peninsula, ~ controlled all of Joirdan to the west bank and had opened the Strtdt of:;Tirah by a para-
9hute attack which captured Sharm El Sheikh. This is the str(Higpoiiit at the tip of the'.eastern sicle ofthe Sinai Peninsula which dom¬ inates the Strait.
THERE was some irony in the fact that the first ship to pai^,s through the re¬ opened Tiran Strait was a Soviet ship bound for Akaba: the Jordanian port of the Ak¬ aba Gulf.
Jordan accepted the Sec¬ urity Councfl cease-fire-ap¬ peal on the third day of the fighting, with King Husisein telling his people that the Jordanian Arab Legion had fought bravely but that it had been overwhelmed by superior Israeli forces un¬ der "an umbrella of Israeli planes."
DESPITE the acceptance of the cease fire by the Nasser regime in Egypt, and by Syria, fighting ^continued Oh theSbiai Peninsula, where the renlnants of six crippled Egyptian divisions were trapped by Israeli units and were making desperate at¬ tempts to break through to a retreat across the Suez Canal in the hope of taking

The key tothe striking Jewish battle successes Was an overwhelming assault bn the air strength of the four attacking Arab countries. In the first few hours of fight¬ ing, the Israeli Air Force ddcimated the'air arms uf Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Ir¬ aq. Deprived of air cover, the Egyptian and Jordanian for¬ ces fell back repeatecDy un¬ der the massive applications of mUitary power appUed by the Jews.
THE EGYPTIAN rout in the Sinai Peninsula vyas.. a repetition of the disaster Nasser suffered in the 1956 campaign, except that Is- riiel accomplished the same i-esults much fester this time, despite: the V fact that in "1956; Israel's pliuiging spearheads had air/cpyer from the Btitish. ahd -the French.

casualties. Some casualties also were reported in the coastal city of Natanya after it was bombed. Generally, however, the Israeli fear of the threat of mass Arab bombing of its packed cities disappeared when the Arsb air forces were crippled in the first hours of fighting. THE GREATEST losses were suffered by the Egypt¬ ians. Unconfirmed but reli¬ able reports indicated that in the four days of initial battle, the Egyptians lost at least 500 tanks, possibly two-thirds of the armorthey had when they first attacked Israeli settiements on the Gaza strip border on June 5. However, the ease witii which Israeli pUots smashed down the largely British- e quipped Jordanian Air Force testified to the fact that it was not the equlp- -qient but the Arab users that „ was deficient.'
GENERAL Mordehal Hod, air force commander, an¬ nounced on the third d^ of the war that the Israel Air Force had destroyed374 enemy planes and that 34 had probably been destroyed. This is cons ide red to be about one-fourth of the total air force the Arabs mustered at the beginning of hostilit¬ ies. Gen. Hod reportedthat Egypt had lost 286 planes, 20 of them in combat

Hitierion Languoge Major Factor In Arab Downfall
Zvi Kolitz, principal speaker at the mass com¬ munity rally last Saturday night at Temple Israel on behalf of the Israel Emer¬ gency Fund, said that the Arab downfaU was due to their use of what Kolitz cal¬ led Hitierian language.
The ArO)?, said KoUtz, made the same mistake that, Hitier made before enterbig Russia. They spoke of the war as one of exterminatiini, a holy war to rid Palestine of the Jews. The courage of anyperspnthreatened witii extermbiatipii,. said Kolitz, doubles their courage and detprmlnation to win. ,j ;: KOLITZ said ttiat had the Arabs won the,ww", TelAV^v - \vould have, heeii tupiedhdoi another.
